Swapping Your Light Bulbs with Yuka

You may have heard rumors about a so called ‘light bulb ban’, but do you know the details of what is actually happening and when? The Federal Energy Independence and Securities act is coming to the U.S. in October of 2012 (i.e a few months), and rather than a ban, it is really more of a gradual phase out of outdated, obsolete energy guzzling incandescent bulbs, which encourages retailers to start stocking the latest high tech, low energy light bulbs. Despite the fact that this starts in just a few months, many people still don’t know much about it.

We consider it our mission at Inhabitat to help! A little while ago, we brought you a fun filled article all about this important new federal law, but if for some reason you haven’t read our handy guide yet, or just prefer old fashioned face time, we’ve made it even easier for you to digest the most crucial facts behind the light bulb phase out (what it is, who it affects) with our new video explaining how to swap your bulbs.
